It’s that time of year again – summer is upon us and top tips for becoming beach body ready abound. Eyebrow tidy, haircut, exfoliate, manicure, pedicure the list is endless. But often missing from the holiday preparation inventory is how to tackle the tricky subject of sweat or deal with obstinate pockets of fat.
The tricky issue of sweat
Staying dry can be a real challenge as the temperatures rise. If you’ve tried every type of antiperspirant without success and you suffer from Axillary hyperhidrosis, the technical term for excessive underarm sweating, then help is at hand. Unfortunately, treatments are no longer available through the NHS but here at the Clinic, we can offer a solution that can help tame the condition. A pre-treatment consultation is followed by a quick 30-minute procedure by a medical professional to the underarms using botulinum toxin, the process which is relatively painless can leave you sweat free for up to 6 months.
Stubborn fat that refuses to budge
If after a springtime of exercise and you are close to your ideal weight but you are still finding stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to budge then Cristal ‘fat freezing’ maybe the answer. Designed as a one off treatment, Medical Cryolipolysis, that’s the technical term, can treat arms, love handles, abdomen, saddle bags, legs and knees. Fat freezing is not a weight loss treatment but designed to sculpt and remove tenacious pouches of fat to give you a more streamline, svelte-looking figure. The procedure, which takes an hour, can cause mild discomfort but you will be able to resume your normal activities the same day and positive outcomes can be seen in 4-10 weeks. Although the treatment is permanent, it can be repeated to boost results but it does not stop the remaining fat cells from becoming larger if you do not follow a healthy, balanced diet.
Alternatively, if you are close to your ideal shape but are keen to permanently reduce and sculpt unwanted fat on your abdomen, love handles or thighs then Liposonix maybe the treatment for you. This non-invasive procedure uses high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to get rid of targeted fat around the waistline. The treatment, which takes upwards of 20 minutes depending on the size of the area being dealt with, can cause mild to moderate discomfort and it’s recommended that patients wear loose comfortable clothing after their session. Designed as a one-off experience, further treatments can be undertaken to enhance the outcome and results can be seen between 4-12 weeks.
Refresh your skin for a younger, glowy look pre or post-holiday
Refreshing your skin for a younger, glowy look pre or post-holiday with a Glycolic Peel can have tremendous benefits. This superficial treatment which takes 30 minutes uses the exfoliating ingredient AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which removes the top layer of dead skin cells. The process gives your skin a very deep clean and not only helps your make up sit better on your skin but products such as vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid will be absorbed more efficiently. It’s very good as a one-off treatment but regular use will see collagen stimulation which improves skin texture, fades some pigmented spots and uneven tones and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you want your skin refreshed from the inside out and extend the younger look of your skin or even reverse the early signs of ageing then a few sessions of Clear + Brilliant are a must. Suitable for the face, neck and décolletage the treatment which takes approximately half an hour stimulates collagen and refines pores. Skin will look brighter, feel softer and have a more even tone a few days after the first treatment.

I had an excellent Hydrafacial which was recommended to me by Jane. I had my treatment with Nikki, who was so friendly and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She was so professional and gave me all the information about each step of the facial. She struck the perfect balance between getting to know me/building a rapport, and also giving me the chance to switch off and relax. It was a lovely treatment and I’m so grateful to Nikki for all her knowledge and skill. My skin felt amazing afterwards and I received so many compliments about my “glowing skin”! Thank you for making it such a personable experience. We also added on the Slimyonik treatment which was so lovely and relaxing. I was able to add this on last minute after being recommended by Kerri. Again, tailoring the treatment to me personally added so much to my overall experience. I’m so glad I added this to the treatment and would recommend the skin to love clinic to anyone. Thank you Nikki, Jane & Kerri.
Always a delight to visit. Natalia was fantastic as usual. I would highly recommend based on her very professional and welcoming approach. The company as a whole goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and well looked after.
10/10 - outstanding advice and treatment from Jane at Skin to Love. I had a burst capillary on my nose which I was covering for 2 years. With one consultation and one course of treatment Jane removed it. I should have consulted her sooner. Jane is now my ‘go to’ skin adviser. Quality service and exceptional value for money. Thank you
Fabulous as always. Jane and the team are welcoming, professional and always put you at ease. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Treatments are delivered with the utmost care. Honest advice always given. Absolutely recommend.
Highly recommend the Skin to Love clinic , such a lovely relaxing atmosphere and so professional. I am very pleased with my treatment with Stuart and Jane both of whom took plenty of time to discuss my requirements, desired outcomes and exactly what to expect, including step by step explanation during treatment. Can’t wait to see the results emerging and beyond
Dr Emma was so patient and gentle during my procedure. She is very good at what she does and is so kind! The treatment was one big step to making me feel more confident with my appearance and it is reassuring that she will answer any and all questions I have.
Great experience, Natalia was very thorough with talking me through the process and what to expect. She made me feel at ease. Clean and bright rooms as well.
Fabulous place. From the moment you step through the door you are warmly welcomed. Natalia is very knowledgable and friendly. She really listened to my concerns sensitively and gave me all the options available without pushing me to make a decision. I was given all the time I needed to make my choice and when I went back for my treatment it was such a relaxing experience. I went away knowing exactly what I needed to do as after care and I highly recommend Skin to Love
Jane was so lovely today. Really made me feel comfortable and reassured. She was very kind and answered all my questions; I’m really happy with how my appointment went. Thank you!
Had my first session of Sculptlift, with Jane. I had so many questions and Jane explained in simple terms enabling me to understand what to expect. The procedure was painless and Jane talked me through every step. I was left without bruising which was suprising as I usually bruise quite badly. I am looking forward to seeing the final results.
I cannot recommend this establishment enough. The receptionist was lovely and greeted me with a bright smile. Emma was friendly, kind and put me right at ease. After seeing how much my issue bothered me, she offered me an appointment the same day during her break to sort out my problem. I’m so happy and relieved that my issue is 95% sorted. Thank you so much Skin to Love! You’ve certainly got a customer for life now! I’ll be telling all my friends about this little gem.
I have seen Jane a few times for my skin tag removal and it’s been an absolute amazing service!! She’s been super calming and helped me every step and if I had any tension it was gone in a minute or so, she get rid of all the issues super quick and pain free and has been super helpful with the healing process afterwards too. This clinic is quite far from me but I am willing to travel for such a good service. Would recommend to everyone you’ll be really happy
Felt really comfortable with Emma, she kept me informed every step and I would highly recommend her.All the staff is so lovely and chatty and the clinic is beautiful
Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff who counsel the right non intrusive option to suit your body shape and need. Results are seen within weeks too. Thank you Jane and team! Best decision I have ever made.
My hydro facial with Nicki was amazing. So relaxing and my skin looked hydrated and glowing after. A number of people commented. I will definitely be back.
I’ve had the HydraFacia treatment with anti-aging booster recently and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! My skin feels incredibly clean, hydrated, and has a radiant glow. Nikki was fantastic—she meticulously explained each step of the treatment, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The thoughtful touch of a follow-up call post-treatment added a personalised touch that I truly appreciated. Thank you, and I'm definitely looking forward to more sessions!
Thank you Emma. You made me feel comfortable and calmed my nerves. The procedure was smooth and quick and Emma kept me distracted the whole time. Would definitely recommend.
